Talleres vs Arsenal
Talleres wasted a 2-0 lead last time out, when they ended up losing 3-2 at Newell’s Old Boys in a heartbreaking debut in the Liga Profesional. That result displaced them from the Copa Sudamericana spots and extended their winless streak to four league matches (registering two stalemates and two defeats in regular time). At home, Alexander Medina’s men have been unbeaten in the last four in this competition, winning two and drawing two. Centre back Juan Cruz Komar is ready to return after recovering from a shoulder problem.
Arsenal started their campaign in the Liga Profesional with a 1-1 home draw against San Lorenzo in round one, when coach Sergio Rondina fielded a completely alternative XI. Following that result, the team are now on three winless matches in domestic action, having drawn two and lost one since beating Defensa y Justicia 1-0 away in April. On the road, El Viaducto won two and lost five in the league this season.
What happened last week for Talleres (they were winning 2-0 and ended up losing) was just an accident. They are a solid team and they should recover at home with a win against this Arsenal that was eliminated from Copa Sudamericana midweek.
